 | | While borane and hydrocarbon derivatives share many related structural features and functions, borane species are apparently stable in the presence of enzyme systems which have supported the evolution of life (at least on this planet) and they appear, at this time, to be inert to enzymatic degradation reactions. |
 | | Biomedical polyhedral borane chemistry is a new field which combines polyhedral borane chemistry with organic chemistry and aspects of biomedicine. |
 | | Thus far, "camouflaged carboranes and polyhedral boranes" are comprised of derivatives of the three isomers of carboranes (1,2- or ortho-, 1,7- or meta-, and 1,12- or para-carborane) and the icosahedral B |
